It’s Sunday again and in our house that means we don’t leave the house and we do whatever makes us happy. If that means taking a nap on the couch at 1pm or working on that quilt that’s been under construction for the past 10 years, that’s what we do. Whatever makes us happy. But more times than not that includes a good slow cooker recipe.

This is hands down the easiest paleo chicken recipe. A whole chicken, spices and a slow cooker is all you need.

Author: The Organic Rabbit

Recipe type: Paleo

Serves: 4

Ingredients

**Use organics whenever possible**

1 whole chicken (4 - 6 pounds)

1 tbsp cumin

2 tbsp dried onion flakes

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp salt

½ tsp thyme

1 cup chopped onion

Instructions

In a small bowl combine all spices

Wash chicken and remove giblets

Place chicken into slow cook and rub spices onto chicken, really rub it in

Top with chopped onion

As the chicken cooks it will release it's own natural juices so there is no need to add any extra liquid

Set slow cooker on low for 5 hours. After 5 hours check temperature of chicken with a meat thermometer. It should be at least 165 degrees. Mine was 170 after 5 hours and the meat fell off the bone

After 3 hours, baste the chicken with the juices that are at the bottom of the slow cooker. (If you aren't home while it's cooking, don't worry because I did not baste mine and it was still fall off the bone tender)
